AUGUST SCHNEBELEN, OF CANTON, OHIO.

DOUGH-KAISER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 22, 1915.

Application filed January 2, 1914. Serial No. 809,979.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUGUST SCI-INEBELEN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Canton, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Dough-Raisers, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in dough raisers and its objectis to produce a device of this class that is simple in construction,cheap to manufacture and that uses hot water as a heating agent.

With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists inthe combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter fullydescribed in the following speoification, pointed out in the claims andillustrated in the accompanying drawing which forms a part of saidspecification and in which Figure 1 is a plan of my improved doughraiser. Fig. 2 is a cross section taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 3. Fig. 3 isa vertical section taken on line 33 of Fig. '1.

Like reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout theseveral views.

The reference numeral 1 indicates a water containing vessel which isprovided with an inlet tube 2 which carries a removable cap 8. Justabove the inlet tube the vessel is provided with a bulged annularportion 4% and from this portion the vessel slopes inwardly as at 5 andterminates in the annular flange 6 disposed at right angles to theperpendicular. The vessel is further provided with the spigot 7. Withinthe vessel 1 an intermediate vessel 8 is disposed which is provided withan external angular support 9 adapted to rest upon the base of the watercontaining vessel and with an interior angular support 10. Theintermediate vessel is formed at its upper with an outwardly extendingannular flange 11 adapted to rest upon the flange 6 of the vessel 1 andsaid intermediate vessel is further provided with a plurality of curvedspacing bars 12 projecting into the interior of the vessel for contactwith the periphery of the dough receiving vessel 13, the base of whichrests upon the support 10 and which is provided with handles 14,14.

15 is a cover provided with handles 16, 16 and formed with a flange 17that conforms to the contour of the portion 5 of the vessel 1 and saidflange terminates in a bulged annular portion 18 that is adapted tofrictionally engage the bulged portion 4 of the vessel 1 and which maybe snapped or sprung into or out of engagement with that portion onaccount of the formation of slots 19 in said cover.

When the device is assembled, as shown in Fig. 3, the hot water isintroduced into the vessel 1 through the medium of the tube 2 preferablyuntil it rises approximately to the height of that tube and thencompletely surrounds the lower part of the intermediate vessel 8 whichis preferably made of a good heat conducting material. The connectionbetween the vessels 1 and 8 coupled with the peculiar construction ofthe cover 15 is such that steam from the water in the vessel 1 isconfined within that vessel and caused to heat the air within the vessel8 which air also circulates within the vessel 13 and greatly facilitatesthe raising or fermentation of the dough within said vessel.

What is claimed is 1. A dough raiser comprising a water containingvessel provided with an inlet tube and with an annular bulged portionimmediately above said tube and sloping inwardly beyond said bulgedportion and terminating in an inwardly extended flange disposed at rightangles to the perpendicular, an intermediate vessel disposed within saidwater containing vessel and formed with an outwardly extending annularflange adapted to rest normally upon the flange of said water containingvessel, a dough containing vessel disposed within said intermediatevessel and spaced away therefrom and a cover provided with handles andadapted for frictional engagement with the bulged portion and with theinwardly sloping portion of the said water containing vessel.

2. A dough raiser comprising a water containing vessel provided with aninlet tube and with an annular bulged portion immediately above saidtube and sloping inwardly beyond said bulged portion and terminating inan inwardly extending flange disposed at right angles to theperpendicular, an intermediate vessel disposed within said watercontaining vessel and formed with an outwardly extending annular flangeadapted to rest normally upon the flange of said water containingvessel, a dough containing vessel disposed within said intermediatevessel and uniformly spaced away from the same and a cover provided withhandles and with a plurality of slots and ture in the presence of twosubscribing Witadapted for frictional engagement With the nesses. bulgedportion and with the inwardly sloping portion of the said Watercontaining AUGUST SGHNEBELEN.
